Wolff or TT Leathers maybe?

thanks, ton
I've seen this "genuine" tag somewhere before.
none of the TTs or Wolf I've looked at seem to have.
maybe just a generic british jacket?

Gotta be something...I like these cross zip CR collared jackets. Always wanted one myself but the larger sizes can be tough to come by. I especially like the two-tone or multi colored versions.
Either way this looks like a nice one.

Agreed with Ton. TT Leathers later on had their own tag, same as LL used a Genuine Leather tag at some point. . .

In the 70's and the 80's, the European market was flooded with these Lewis Leathers/Mascot replicas. Everyone with a motorcycle had to have at least one in the wardrobe. Countless manufacturers used to make 'em so it's literally impossible to guess. They're often really good jackets, level of quality we're discussing here. Some were even better than the original they were copying. Often heavier. German ones are my favorite. TT Leathers was making a fantastic jacket. In no way inferior to LL.

I especially agree with this last statement
